    '96 Subframe rear mount question

    The rear mount on my '91 is nearly 2.5" higher than the one on the '96 subframe. The Sticky doesn't mention any modifications for the rear mount. How far off does that throw the rod shifter and the exhaust? Or should I migrate that mount over too?

    Steering rack question

    I am upgrading the subframe to a '96 on my '91. Should I rebuild the OEM rack (third time, it is leaking again) or use the '96 rack (also leaking, needs a rebuild)? Is th '96 rack that much better? Obviously, it has 1/3 the miles on it, but is the feel like the ZF rack in my C-Max (same as the...

    New Clutch - or get creative

    So, I plan on finally getting a bunch of work done on my SHO. One item is the clutch. I last went Vaelo, new, as the motor is stock, but it is slipping sooner than expected since I tow with the car. So... I have a SHOShop High Revs Jr with the fingers cut off (I really wish I had known about the...

    Rock Auto sales on Gen 1 parts

    I got an email on closeout parts for my '91. Motorcraft parts included. Alternator, starter, brakes, wheel bearings, master cylinders, door glass, various motors, etc. Worth a look for cheap spares!

    Ford C-Max rim test fit

    I decided to test - it my 2017 C-Max rims on the SHO. 17x7, 55MM offset. The fit was fine, no rubbing anywhere except for the caliper. The hub is very shallow on the C-Max rims, so the caliper locked the rim as I snugged it up. Brake upgrade or 5MM shims would solve this. I did not check...

    Windows won't work suddenedly

    I've been working on getting an aftermarket radio working, and as I was finally re-assembling the car, I was unable to roll up or down the windows. According to the manual, there is a circuit breaker which covers the windows, seats, and locks. Seats and locks work. There is a fusable link that...

    Update - positive news

    So, after last year's valve adjustment, new injectors, and new computer, I dropped the car off to have the decades old gas smell checked out. I did notice fluid stains on top of the tank last month, and I didn't have time to work on it. The shop did a smoke test and smoke came from the top of...

    '96 SHO with parts and tools (for a friend)

    A friend of mine is trying to unload his '96 SHO. Runs, drives, but needs some re-assembly. No dings, dents, just very dirty from sitting. Was his parts spare, but his other one blew and caught fire before he pulled anything. Has a complete spare front clip/drivetrain, spare engine, and a set...

    Konis Gen1 Rear pair (1 front available)

    I have a pair of well used but still stiff rear Konis in housings for sale. I also have one front that was factory rebuilt two years ago. The other one was lost by USPS. Best offer, plus shipping fron CT. I'd rather not E-bay them. Note, the adjusters are quite rusty and I didn't try to...

    Ran fine yesterday, today won't start, fuel pump never stops running

    Ok, I'm perplexed. The car ran perfectly yesterday (other than the A/C kicking out and not coming back - yest, it has a BRAND NEW compressor!), and this morning it won't start. The fuel pump keeps running, never stops like it has reached full pressure. The engine is spinning like a top too -...

    Warning - EBC Redstuff fitment stock late 91

    I wasn't paying attention at the time I put new calipers on the SHo earlier this sprint, but I put new rotors and EBC Stuffs on about 4000 miles and two years ago (bad couple years for the car). Yesterday as I was changing the struts I was actually paying attention to everything and found an...

    Select a strut time...

    So... The post office lost my front Koni I sent for repair. I've got a Sensatrac on the right front and the remaining Koni on the left front. Considering the last time the left-front was an OE-Spectrum (when I last sent the pair out for rebuild), the Sensatrac was significantly better all...

    Looking for lower mains 3.0L

    Uppers are beautiful, lowers are just showing wear through the first layer. Replaced the rod bearings, hoping someone found an equivalent lower main for these as I'm hoping to get another 60K out of the car. I couldn't find a posting about them though. TankII

    Fuel Injectors

    My car runs rich (pulls strong though!). Rich enough the Cats can't keep up. So, looking at getting some injectors. Should I get remans or Accel from Shosource? Stock motor. Oh, and my rod knock - one rod bearing was showing copper bottom, and the top was missing pieces of copper! Neither...

    Quick question about valve clearances

    Does each valve pair have to be exactly the same? On the front bank, I have one intake and one exhaust that is one feeler gauge tighter than the rest. None are looser than specification. I'm using my own metric feeler gauge set. I dread the rear - that's the bank that I think I've got problems...

    ABS issues - 1991

    I've about had it - almost had two accidents yesterday. Where is the fuse for the ABS module? I cannot find the "High Current Fuse Panel" under the hood. ABS codes (in order flashed at me): 22,32,35,36,37,44,43,63 I believe I need to replace the rt-rear caliper, since it barely turned when I...

    Whistling Gas Tank - Solved! (10 year mystery)

    I have had a whistling gas tank when the car is shut off for at least 10 years. I had replaced the check-valve on the tank at least once, and finally gave up trying to figure it out. Well, I was testing my cruise control unit (non-functional for three years), and realized it was rusted out. To...

    Struts - Again! (Trying not to beat a dead horse)

    Currently running Konis/Eibachs, purchased and installed 140K miles ago in 1999 in KY (Yes, Ron P, I'm still running them!). Only one has gone bad in the past, and now I have another one I need to send out to reman. However, since these units only dampen adjustably in one direction, the car...
